Butterflies of Costa Rica

It is difficult to get started again on a blog.  I can finally use my right hand to type after three months + in a cast or brace.  I broke my arm in  a 70 car accident in Mexico.The doctor in Mexico said he thought I needed a metal plate but he couldn't do it and I suggested I get to a doctor in the US that would do it.   A doctor in Ft. Collins decided all was well and I didn't need a metal plate in my arm to hold all the broken bones together but 7 weeks later when I took the brace off the arm bent so I ended up going to a specialist in Albuquerque who operated and added a metal plate and pin to hold the bones in place.  Today is the first time since March 14th I have been able to type with two hands.  So I guess I will try to catch up.  Hope you don't get board with my photos of Costa Rica.


These are just a few of the more than 300,000 different types of butterflies in Costa Rica
